Chapter 29: Is There Really a Water Ghost?

  A new week has also started a new year, wishing everyone all the best, health and happiness.

  ..........................

  Yue Kang turned his head and looked at Bai Miao Yun's face, which still had tears on it. "Are you alright? If I hadn't arrived in time, would he have made up with you?"

  Her cold tone left Bai Miao Yun speechless, and she didn't even dare to look directly at Yue Kang's stern eyes.

  "Ka-chak." Yue Kang swung the iron rod in his hand, heavily smashing it down. The right leg bone of that guard broke with a loud crack. The guard rolled around on the ground, howling in agony.

  The rest of the guards also broke out in a cold sweat, wondering if they would be the next one to have their leg broken.

  "Get out of here, all of you!" Yue Kang threw away the iron rod in his hand and said.

  This sentence was undoubtedly the most pleasant sound to the numerous bodyguards of the Hu family, they felt that this voice was the most pleasing to hear, and one by one they got up, not daring to look up at Yue Kang, for fear that this White Family's Brother-in-law would change his mind.

  "Wait..." Yue Kang shouted.

  Many guards' hearts skipped a beat and almost wet their pants.

  "Go back and tell Hu Guoliang to prepare a good wine table, in a few days, Yue Mou will definitely come to visit." Yue Kang said expressionlessly, the account with the Hu family is not yet settled.

  Many guards responded in unison, supporting each other as they quickly left everyone's line of sight.

  More than a hundred workers, today made great contributions under the guidance of Yue Kang, Bai Miao Yun added wages to each worker, and the workers all excitedly returned to work. Being able to help the White family defeat their enemies was an honorable thing for them, and they also got paid, what's not to be happy about?

  The rest of the injured were sent for medical treatment.

  "Sister, I'll send you back!" Yue Kang said to Bai Miao Yun, who still looked resentful.

  "It's okay, I can go back by myself." She didn't say thank you, perhaps she knew that Yue Kang didn't need a superficial courtesy, but in her heart, she was still extremely grateful to him. Suddenly, a sense of being honored rose up in her heart, and her impression of this man also changed slightly. Maybe what her sister said was true, he really wasn't a bad man.

  Bai Miao Yun couldn't understand why Yue Kang ran to her sister's room in the middle of the night, and after this incident, Bai Miao Yun's resentment towards Yue Kang also faded a lot.

  "Sister, don't think too much about it. One day I will settle the score with the Hu family and make Hu Guoliang kneel down to apologize to you." Yue Kang promised.

  Bai Miao Yun looked up at Yue Kang, wanting to say something but didn't say it out loud, and then left.

  "Wang Fu, I have a task for you. Go back and tell Old Lady to send someone to monitor every move of the Hu family. If they make any slight movement, come report to me immediately. I don't want today's incident to happen again. As for what happened today, don't mention it to Old Lady, lest she worries." Yue Kang said to Wang Fu.

  "Alright, I'm off then, take care of yourself." Wang Fu said and left.

  Yu Kang stood alone, staring blankly at the eastern horizon, lost in thought.

  It's evening again, Yue Kang finished eating the dinner that was sent over, although it wasn't as delicious as his little wife's cooking, he still cleaned the plate.

  Yue Kang couldn't help but worry about Bai Miao Yun, so he opened the door and walked over to her room, which was in the same courtyard as his own. Seeing that her light was still on, he hesitated for a long time before finally approaching.

  He didn't think Bai Miao Yun would be so narrow-minded, after all these years of doing business, Yue Kang believed that Bai Miao Yun wouldn't have no endurance at all. He just wanted to go and comfort her a bit, who doesn't want to be comforted when they're feeling frustrated? Yue Kang had already mentally prepared himself, at most he'd let her take advantage of him a bit, come and cry in my arms!

  Yue Kang arrived at Bai Miao's door, stood outside and shouted twice. There was no response from inside the house. Yue Kang felt a sense of unease, wondering if she had really done something rash! He didn't care about entering a woman's boudoir anymore.

  He pushed the door open and walked in.

  The room was very clean, the red mosquito net on the bed was hung neatly, and the quilt was folded neatly. The house emitted a kind of refreshing fragrance. Hmm, why didn't anyone go there?

  On a small dressing table, several everyday items were simply placed. What caught Yue Kang's attention was the pearl hairpin on the dressing table, which was the one Bai Miao Yun wore during the day.

  Where did she go? Yue Kang wondered in his heart, had she gone out to clear her mind? It was too dangerous for a woman to be out so late.

  Yue Kang closed the door again, in front of the White Family Kiln there was a small hillside, behind the hillside there was a small forest, Yue Kang had noticed that place when he came, should be where he went! Yue Kang thought to himself and walked over.

  A pair of black eyes had been staring at Yue Kang's every move in the shadows, and after Yue Kang left, the owner of the shadow muttered to himself: "It seems this is a great opportunity." After finishing speaking, the shadow slipped like an eel to the door of Bai Miao Yun's room, looked around cautiously, saw no one else, and pushed open the door.

  "Sister, sister." Yue Kang came to the forest and turned around in all directions but couldn't see Bai Miao Yun's figure, where did she go?

  The moonlight passes through the leaves and enters the forest, with spots and dots, like a girl's floral dress. The night wind is cool, and the leaves gently rub against each other, emitting a faint rustling sound.

  In front of a small river, the moonlight shines on the river, casting a gentle glow. The ripples on the water reflect the crescent moon, making it look like a girl's eyebrows. Yue Kang runs to the riverbank, feeling a bit tired, and sits down with a thud. This small river looks just like the one in his hometown where he used to catch fish as a child. He remembers how he would roll up his pant legs and wade into the water, using a spear-like tool to catch fish.

  I remember once being bitten by a catfish on the leg, watching with my eyes open as it slowly burrowed into my flesh. That time even scared Father, who refused to let him go fishing alone, but he still secretly went alone, often playing hide-and-seek games with adults.

  Finally, Father threatened that there were often water ghosts appearing by the river and they would eat people.

  There is no time for sighs and regrets, Yue Kang made a trumpet shape with both hands, facing the quiet flowing river, he shouted loudly, finding Bai Miao Yun was the most important thing at the moment.

  Yue Kang stood up and patted the dust off his body.

  "The heavens have opened their eyes, and finally someone has come." A hoarse and extremely heavy voice entered Yue Kang's ears.

  Yue Kang was startled, his mother really had a water ghost, his whole body tensed up, and he suddenly picked up a stone from the ground to boost his courage. He looked around but didn't see anyone, feeling a bit timid, but his voice was very strong as he shouted: "Who's there? Come out!"

  "Don't be afraid, I mean no harm, I'm here." The hoarse voice came over again.

  Yue Kang looked in the direction of the sound, and about five or six meters away from his side, he saw a black object. Yue Kang plucked up his courage, tightly grasping the stone in his hand as he walked over. "No matter if you're human or ghost, you'll have to take a hit from me, let you scare people at midnight."
